Who can use which remote control capability depends on their account plan and model provider.

Anthropic Account Tiers

Plan Remote Control Availability
Free / API Key Not available (Requires OAuth)
Pro / Max Full Remote Control available
Team / Enterprise Available + Admin Policy Controls

Provider Support Matrix

Provider Remote Control Telegram Plugin
Anthropic Direct ✅ (OAuth required) ✅
AWS Bedrock ❌ (Explicitly hidden in v2.1.55+) ✅
Google Vertex AI ❌ (Not supported) ✅
Third-party Gateway ❌ ✅

Why the difference?

  • Remote Control relies on Anthropic's cloud bridge and the claude.ai/code UI. Third-party providers don't have access to this proprietary infrastructure.
  • Telegram Plugin is a local MCP server that doesn't care about your backend model – it only cares about messages coming in and out of your local CLI.

Decision Rule: If you use Bedrock or Vertex, your only "remote" option is a channel plugin like Telegram.

mempalace

MemPalace is a local-first AI memory tool designed to store conversation history verbatim and retrieve it through semantic search, without summarizing or paraphrasing. It utilizes a structured index, categorizing information into "wings," "rooms," and "drawers" to enable scoped searches. The retrieval layer is pluggable (ChromaDB by default), ensuring all data remains on the user's machine unless opted out. It achieves an impressive 96.6% R@5 raw recall on the LongMemEval benchmark, notably without requiring LLMs or API calls, showcasing high performance in a local environment.

code-review-graph

code-review-graph is an AI-assisted code review tool that builds a structural map of code using Tree-sitter and incrementally tracks changes to provide precise context to AI assistants via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This approach significantly reduces token consumption by enabling AI models to read only the minimal set of files relevant to a change, rather than the entire codebase. It aims to solve the token waste problem in large repositories and monorepos, improving the efficiency and quality of AI code reviews.

claude-context

Claude Context is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) plugin developed by Zilliztech, designed to provide deep code context to Claude Code and other AI coding assistants. It leverages semantic search to efficiently retrieve relevant code snippets from entire codebases, injecting them directly into the AI's context. This approach addresses the limitations of context windows and high costs associated with large codebases by storing the codebase in a vector database for efficient management and cost-effectiveness.
